Hi guys, this is my first time posting here. I tried to 'google' the subject but I couldnt find anything.
Basically I built a new computer a few months ago, and it was and is working fine. I was using a AOC 24" 1080p monitor left over from my old build until the monitor I got today came into stock.
Im now using the AOC U2868PQU 28" 4K 60Hz, which I ordered from Novatech (great service btw as usual). But anyway getting on with my point I have 2 R9 290x MSI Graphics cards which are in Crossfire mode in Catalyst, however my screen went completely black when testing it in a game, played fine but when i tried to alt tab out screen went black and the computer wasnt responding, i felt the back of my computer (where the display port cable is connected) and felt that the top card was red hot and the bottom card was cool. I then checked temps on the cards and the top card was running at 79 Degrees and the bottom didnt appear to be running at all.

that is a screenshot showing the temps. Now I just wanted to ask is there anyway to check if the cards are actually crossfired and working together? Because it doesnt appear that the 2nd card is even working atm.
Thanks for the help in advance, and if you need anymore information just let me know, I dont know if i have given all the relevant information needed or not
